“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.” – Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est
Fr. Chris Ryan MGL looks at the insights gained from Pope Benedict XVI on the Christian faith in a modern and postmodern world. He discusses the ideas of modernity and its view of Christianity, the narrative knowledge which a modern worldview seeks to ignore, and Pope Benedict XVI’s commentary on these philosophies.
Fr. Chris Ryan MGL is the rector of the Missionaries of God’s Love seminary in the Archdiocese of Melbourne.
